15 Years We Haven't Won There... Sunday That Changes | Liverpool vs Arsenal | Match Preview

I'd cry if I was a Fleetwood Town fan. What have you got to look forward to? Fish and relegation. That's what you've got to look for. No, no, no, no, I'm not having this, no, no, no, no. They beat us, they beat us. I don't care, no, no, no, I don't, I don't, no, no, no, no. Not, not, Cecil, sorry, not with that challenge. Up the Codman. Not with that. AGT, don't try to monger me. I'll try to monger me off, please. You can't say all the clubs. No, no, not all of them. By the way some of them were coming on, Scumbag Club, Scumbag Club. Who do you want to win the carol? Harrison Neal, you're a football scumbag and you should be thrown out of football. And if I could... Verbally or physically football, so I'll do it for you. Ooh, right. And at Anfield, obviously we've had the fair share of wins, no wins since 2012 for you. So look, going into this game, my thoughts and my feelings are... Yeah, and confidence levels. Confidence levels are rising after every game because we keep winning. And you know, I think nine wins in 12, we keep winning. So that's always a good habit, even if you're not playing to your max. Okay, okay, okay, okay, so we won the league at Anfield 99, right? Okay, well then, so you want to be funny, I can be funny. No, no, he's trying to ask you a fair question. Okay, if you're not, if you're not. So what is it based on? Because I've heard it every year that you're confident. Okay, okay. You can't say based on 1980. Okay, if you're serious, then I apologize to you. If you're not trying to mug me, that's cool. Listen, I'm confident we can win every game. Yes, we welcome back to AFTV. Join us for the preview of Liverpool versus Arsenal as a 4.30pm kick-off this Sunday. And Tuesday, after Fleetwood, felt like the worst day. But Sunday, you lot better win because it's my f***ing birthday. Yeah? That's how I started this. Happy birthday. Happy birthday for... First of November, yeah. We played Burnley last year. No, was that your birthday last year? Come on, my G. Come on, my G. Good night. Now I'm getting a little bit old. Don't remember my age, please. Thank you very much. And you was there as well. You was there as well. Oh, yeah. Yep. Yeah, yeah, nice, yeah, nice. Thank you for the invite, yeah. That was a good night. That was a good night. I know exactly what you were talking about. He enjoyed it. We had a good night. It was a good night. I'm not talking about anything dodgy. It was great. If only you knew. If only you knew. Anyway, for this Sunday, 1st November, that's when we're taking on Liverpool at Anfield. Tough place to go. It is. I'm going to be on my birthday. There he is. I'm rejoined, though. Yeah, yeah. Edgy T. All right. It's weird being like, I haven't been on AFTV for ages. Yeah, it's weird having you next to me. It's nice being, well, still my office, still home, isn't it? Yeah, still, still, ----. Thanks for having me, man. Always, you're here, you're here, which is good. You've been in the office, we've got Ty as well. Big up, we have time for you. Big up. Thank you very much to AFTV for inviting me. Absolute legend. Legendary lucky, hero of lucky. And I would like to say, Cecil, there was something I want to clarify about those football scum of the earth club. So, should I say, no, no, no, I'm going to be wrong. Liverpool or Fleetwood? No, Liverpool, Liverpool, 100% not. Because I wouldn't, listen, bad, bad chances can happen. But I don't see Iriola or, what is it, Arne Slot or even Klopp. Advocating players doing the disgusting tackles that was done on Max, which he's lucky not to break his leg. So do you want me to say it now at the end? Well, well, I think just to say, yes, we're here now, innit? That's just the precursor. OK, OK, get out of the main event and get what you used to say. So first of all, it's a proper League Two tackle innit? It's get the ball, but go through him and try. Even that, even that is disgusting. I don't like hearing it anymore because we've moved on from that, innit? Nowadays football. But go on, go on Tyler. It's not good enough and nobody can condone that. You know, Harrison Neal is blacked out swears, an absolute disgrace. And people like him should be kicked out of football because soon somebody else is going to get their leg broken. Somebody's going to get their leg broken. And also that nonsense about those stupid nobodies interviewing and getting in my interview. I'd cry if I was a Fleetwood Town fan. Because what have you got to look forward to? Fish and relegation. That's what you've got to look for. No, no, no, no, I'm not having this, no, no, no, no. They beat us, they beat us. I don't care, no, no, I don't. They beat us there in school. I don't, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Cecil, sorry, not with that challenge. Up the Codman. Not with that. AGT, don't try to monger me. Don't try to mug me off, please. Stop, stop. Right. No, no, it's not. It's a historic night. It's a big win for them. No, I don't care. I don't care. That's the only thing in their life. I don't care. Don't get involved with them. Slagging off Robbie, having a laugh at Robbie and then coming to shake hands. No, it don't work like that. You are nobody. You are on the football scale. It's not banter. It's not banter. It's not banter. Because I don't do that. I don't do that. When we beat Mansfield, did you hear me talking any nonsense? Did I say, oh, Mansfield, oh, goodbye. I never said that. I only want to be rude. You are nobodies, you will always be nobodies. You will always be nobodies. No, no, no, no. And like I said, they're out of order. Sorry, they're out of order. They're rude and they're disgracers. And I think that is a football scumbag club. No, no, I don't care. He's a scavenger. Yeah, but it's what they deserve. It's what they deserve. Because, no, don't mug me on this. No, but genuinely, fish and chips are good, though. You're saying all they've got is fish and that. They've got nothing. The fish will be good fish. They've got nothing because the thing is, I'm sorry about this, I've not heard anybody from Fleetwood say the tackle is wrong. And you cannot. Max could have got his leg broken. That's what I'm telling you. He could have got his leg broken. Even still, that didn't mean, if he stayed on the pitch or not, we still might end up with the same result. No, but you don't tackle like that. I know, but we're going to look past that now. And you've had your say. That didn't change the result. No, no, no. It's not right in football. It needs to be looked at. That's fine. But you can't. Yeah, it's done. It's done. Good luck to the biggest night. It's not a big deal. They're done. Who do you want to win that? Scumbag club, scumbag fans. Sorry, no, I don't care. By the way, I don't mind them. You can't say all of them. No, not all of them. By the way, some of them were coming on. Scumbag club, scumbag fans. Who do you want to win, Harrison? Harrison Neal, you're a football scumbag and you should be thrown out of football. And if I could, verbally or physically, I'll do it for you. Ooh, right. Ty, can I just ask one question? Who do you want to win the Carabao Cup now? Now? Uh... Probably Liverpool. Oh. There you go. Thank you, Ty. I appreciate that. Well, from one scumbag club to... I'm joking, I'm joking, I'm joking. I've got a lot of family to support if you know. I'm joking, I'm joking. He's Fleetwood, not Liverpool. From one, you know, from one club to a very, very big club, a very, very well-respected club. The most successful. Hey, all right, I'm being polite. No, no, no. If you're going to do... We can all push and pull. No, yeah, of course. We can all shove and push. From second in the league to fourth in the league, let's talk. First home win in six months, I believe, recently against Brighton. In the league. In the league, in the Premier League against Brighton. Let's just do initial. We always do some previews. Your thoughts ahead of this game. What are your thoughts and feelings for this game on Sunday? It's AG2. It's always an exciting game, I think. Yes, one for me. When it pops up, when I see the fixture list, I look for three fixtures, I would say, like off the bat. And it's, you know, in no particular order, Liverpool, Man United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Liverpool, Everton. And this one for me, because of, I know everyone knows it, they all mock me, some of them. The other ones that respect me nice, I respect you. Jesus. But I grew up in North London, Cecil. Yeah, yeah. I went to school in North London, I... I grew up around, I mean, you've met all my mates, basically. They're all bloody Arsenal fans, aren't they? So for me personally, and obviously I'm not downplaying the importance of a United and Everton game. They are the fiercest kind of rivalry, local derbies, et cetera, you can have as a Liverpool fan. But for me personally, what I look out for and how much is on the line, it's Liverpool-Arsenal for me, or Arsenal-Liverpool. Just because of the aforementioned things, but also... You know, it's been, since I've been going to the game, you know, my first game was at Highbury, Arsenal, Liverpool in 2002. Wonnell, Reeser, scored an equaliser. Wonnell from Freddie. That was where I kind of, you know, saw football for the first time. And this game has always thrown up so many classics in the Premier League. And at Anfield, obviously, we've had the fair share of wins, no wins since 2012 for you. So, look, going into this game, my thoughts and my feelings are… Yeah, and confidence levels. Confidence levels are rising after every game because we keep winning. And, you know, I think nine wins in 12, we keep winning. So that's always a good habit, even if you're not playing to your max. But this one, attacking-wise, we're looking good. That's good. Defensively, we're looking good. The only thing is, individually, the midfielders are great individual players, but that chemistry again, Graham Burke has been out in and out of the team. McAllister's easily been our best midfielder this season. Going forward was scary, though. How many options you've got. Munoz, you've got Rio, you've got Gakpo, you've got Barcola, Isak, Ekotiko, and he's back. Luis Kumas can do a lot of running as well. So, yeah. Building confidence. Building confidence. Ty, your thoughts ahead of this game before we get into some information. Well, first of all, thank you very much for letting me say that. It's lucky you're here because that's only the beginning and that's what they deserve. And I'm unequivocally saying that. It's not AFTV. It's the thoughts of me. And I 100% stand by those thoughts. What are your thoughts for Liverpool come Sunday? So, Liverpool, first of all, obviously, I did say Liverpool, but I have to say I don't want Liverpool to win it, I have to say, I've forgotten as well. I've got to say congratulations and commiserations. To Crystal Palace. Eddie scored the goal. Eddie, Eddie. And Fulham with Alex. It will be burnt. I'm coming. Bernd Leno and Emile Smith Rowe. So then, even though I say I want Liverpool to win, that is after Crystal Palace because of Eddie. Okay, okay. Liverpool. How are you feeling for this game? How I'm feeling? I'm feeling it. It's quite a good monologue by AGT. Listen, I'm always confident. I mean, last season, we shouldn't have lost. A free kick from Szoboszlai, but we did win the league, so that's what I'm looking at. I mean, the season before that, we drew 2-2. And we won the league. Exactly, exactly. We haven't beaten them in the last five. We haven't, but listen, that's... We haven't. We haven't won in the last five. Three draws, two wins to Liverpool. We won the league, so we're very confident. We're not going to underestimate Liverpool, but we know what we can do. Can I ask what your confidence, and this isn't like, I'll look the other way if you don't want to see my face, but in terms of having that confidence to win a tie, what is that based on? It's based on 15 years of not winning there. No, no, no, but again. No, this is good, this is good. Listen, you can't mug me off. No, he's not, he's not, he's actually done the receipts. Why you say 15 years of, why you say 15 years? Didn't we win in 2012? Yeah, 15 years ago. Okay, okay, okay. It's coming up to 2027. Okay, so we won the league at Anfield in 99, right? Okay, well then. So, you want to be funny? I can be funny. No, no, I'm not being funny, bro. He's trying to ask you a fair question. Okay, if you're not, if you're not. I'm saying, what is it based on? Yeah, because I've heard it every year that you're confident. Okay, okay. You can't say based on 1989. Okay, I think if you're serious, then I apologise to you. If you're not trying to mug me, that's cool. Listen, I'm confident we can win every game. We won the league last season. We lost to Manchester City. We lost to you. We still won the league. So that's where my confidence comes from. In the fact that we didn't win those games, that we should have won or drawn, but we still won the game. We won the war in the end because we won the league, but we haven't won the game. But the actual game is, yeah, he's talking about in almost 15 years, we haven't actually won at Anfield. So where is this? Where is the confidence? The confidence is we are the champions and we know we've got to win the league. I mean, even when we did win the league, we came back from 2-0 down. To win, to win, to win. Why are you smiling? No, he's just looked at me. He's just looked at me. Fair. No, that's fair. I'm very confident. I'm always confident when I go up to Anfield. And rightly so. Before we move on with this preview, we're going to hear from Cecil. He's going to give us some more information around this game. Liverpool host Arsenal this Sunday the 1st November at Anfield with kick-off at 4.30pm in the Premier League. The referee for this one will be Andy Madley with Stuart Attwell on VAR. Arsenal going into this game looking to strengthen their position near the top of the table after beating Everton 2-0, while Liverpool will be hoping to build on their own victory, which was 2-0 over Brighton. With Arsenal chasing the title and Liverpool looking to close the gap, this promises to be a massive, massive test for both sides. The Gunners have struggled to win league games at Anfield in recent years, so breaking that run would be a huge statement for their title ambitions. The big talking point for Arsenal is team selection. Bukayo Saka and William Saliba both reported to be unavailable. Liverpool also have heavy injury concerns with Jeremy Frimpong sidelined and Florian Wirtz a doubt. Arsenal need their attacking players to step up massively for this one, control the midfield and take their chances if they're going to silence the Anfield crowd. So that's everything you need to know ahead of this Sunday's match against Premier League opposition Liverpool. Now, let's get back to the video. Sorry. Thank you for that, Cecil. He knows his stuff. He definitely knows his stuff. He knows his stuff. So, HG, question for you. Question for you, HG. What differs from the game against Chelsea to the Sunday game? That's a great question. Two big teams, of course. Two London teams. And, yeah, of course, you could say some team selection. But what... Do Liverpool change in the way they play? Is there a stylistic thing changing? Or is it just, we're at home, there is momentum there now, and you just go out and you just play as you are because the record is so good. Yeah, I think seven changes we made for Chelsea and we still put them out and they were missing out of that 11, I'd say, Palmer and Pedro, which is big, obviously. But out of our 11, we were missing far more players than that in terms of players that were either out injured or came off the bench. So there will be a full-strength team put out on Sunday. And if I was to predict it, Alisson, Ronald. Virgil, Jeremy, and I'm doing the thing of saying their first names. I love that. That's a big uptime, man, because I love doing that now. Milos, then Ryan, Alexis, Verts. I don't think... So obviously I could make the bench. I'm sure he's... Is he really still going to be up? Obviously, that's still today and tomorrow and maybe Saturday evening to train. So we'll see where he... So you'd want him in, though, over Verts if he was fit? 100% fit, so obviously, yes. 50% no, it would be Verts. And then I would personally go... You've got injuries, haven't you? You know what, I'd start Rio on the left. Yep. Isak through the middle and Barcola on the right. Or actually, sorry, I'd go Barcola left, Isak, then Rio on the right. You're going to start Rio? This is just me personally. No. Obviously, you've got Gakpo, you've got Munoz to come off the bench that are obviously a mix of experience and pace there. So that's what I would go with. Fair. Fair. I want to do some… Our defence has been really good. I'm just going to interject here and talk about, like… Liverpool is tough. We know this. We've got there many a times. The only time they've lost this season is against Man City. And do you know what? That was a Man City team. That was a ghost game. I don't think they should have and that game shouldn't have gone ahead. They're just like Fleetwood. You know what I mean? No, no, no, it's true. No, I'm not talking about, I'm not. That's what I said. If I had to look forward to fish and relegation. Do you not like fish? I like fish. He does like fish. But I don't like relegation. Not basically, but yeah, you don't. I don't like relegation. But so for me, I just think this Anfield, the Anfield tax is big. Obviously, I like what Ty says. He's confident every game he goes into. Thank you. When you're a champion, you'd be the same. When you won the little, I remember you when you won the doubles and stuff. All of that. So we remember AGT. But that's currently in Arsenal's possession. If we win this, we're three points behind you. I think if Liverpool win on Sunday, not only is it like a statement to say Arsenal... It's a statement. By the way, it's a statement either way. Oh, 100%. Whoever wins is a statement either way. Bro, it's such a massive statement for you if you win at Anfield for the first time. Well, hopefully. It gives you such big belief. But for us, it says, actually, don't forget about us. We should win this league. If we're three points behind you after Sunday, 6-30, we could go on and have a title race. I'm not saying... We'd be favourites. We need to see what's happening with Man City as well. But if Liverpool win this, I think we're in a title race. You guys. Us. I don't think that's silly to say with our attack and our defence. But then, yeah, I've got our attack and I'm still quite... And we still want players to come back, bro. I'm still quite fearful. Hugo Eketike. You're fearful? Yeah, because our attack hasn't clicked properly yet. And the last performance against Fleetwood was kind of a damning example of good attacking play. For Fleetwood, we should have won the game. But we don't... Because we should have won the game. But we didn't. Let me move the conversation then to your side and my side, Max Stalman and Rio. Yeah, Max, yeah. I've watched Rio I can't lie it's it's it's He's very good. He's so special. He is a very, very, very confident... He was riding chances. He was winning fouls. He was... Fearless. And I was like, wow, why the conversation on the Arsenal side and granted there's two years difference. I'm aware of that. Protect Max. Don't let him play. Don't let him play. He's not, he might be ready but let's just, let's protect him. When I see Liverpool, I see them giving Rio and again, I am fully aware there's a two year age gap but, I do. Why compare them? I do. I don't want to compare them. But on your side, It's amazing, let them. but in Liverpool, but in the Liverpool families, are they not saying protect him or, And they're not saying just wait. Get him on the pitch as much as possible. Even in... So you want him to start. Get him on the pitch. I mean, look, he could go safe and go Gakpo. And that would not raise an eyebrow for me whatsoever. I think Gakbo... You're asking me who I would play. Yeah. Me and the fans that I... When he gets on the ball... And he wins. It sounds silly. He could go past three players and win us a throw in a good position or win us a corner. But that's... We don't do that with any other player, bro. Okay. We do that. We do that with Supermax. The excitement around this kid is something I haven't seen for a long time. And look, we've had great players that have come through, Curtis and Trent, but when you look at an exciting winger, the closest thing I can think of to compare him to was when Raheem came through at 16. He was playing for Liverpool, right? Yeah. Scored a goal when he was 17 and then, you know, that season with Suarez and Sturridge. Amazing. I just think he's ready. And listen, the two-year age gap, that's like 16 to 18 is probably the most kind of important two-year age gap in your growing up because it's like you go from a kid to an adult. But for me, I just want to see him on the pitch as much as possible. And if he gets legs tired at 70, you just throw on Munoz or... That's massive. You wanted to start over signings. It's such an issue for defenders to deal with him. And I feel that... You can go either way. But I feel that about Max, but there's a majority... It's true about Max as well. Yeah, but for some reason it feels like... And listen, he got red carded so recently. Which is appealing. Yeah. That's the thing. He shouldn't be the red card. Maybe, sorry to interrupt, but the thing about it is that with Rio... Big him up. He's Nigerian. Big him up. The thing is, with Rio... I was with Kelechi pitch side last night, by the way, and Kweku. They're working for Sporty TV. Oh, yeah, big up. Big up, Kelechi. Nigerian connection. So you're saying... Kweku, he's gone there in respect. No, no, I'm saying they're different. I'm saying they're different because of Kelechi. Of course. So speak him up. So what it is is that with Rio... I don't see anybody like scum Harrison Neal trying to break his leg. That's the difference. When Rio plays, I've not seen anybody try to break his leg. Now... What, are you saying you want that? Of course not. I'm saying... That's what I'm saying. Harrison, that's what I mean. I know, I know, but... So that's what it is. People are targeting Max. They're not targeting Rio. That's the difference. They might, but... I don't see Rio targeted. That's the difference. And the more he plays, the more... No, but I don't see him targeted. They might try to go in hard, but they're going in fair. Fair, my conversation, I brought it to Rio and Max, not to compare them, just on the Arsenal side, we're very, it feels like a lot of us are saying protect him, protect him, protect him. Absolutely. Maybe rightly so. But could he play, maybe he obviously can't because he's a red card, but would you want to see him more? Because, you know, you see Rio doing, I even want him to start over big signings that they made in the summer. No, not over. I'd say him and Barcola, I'd say. To start? Oh, okay, okay. I want to see him start but if I see that nonsense I don't want his leg to be broken. It's not going to happen in the Premier League though. It's not going to happen in the Premier League. Well I hope not. It happened to Vaz, Eduardo and Aaron in the Premier League didn't it? Yeah that's fair. That's fair. The game has very much changed now. I think if that challenge at Fleetwood happened in the Premier League there'll be a red card to the challenger. But anyway. Red card to Harrison Neal's career. Yeah. Whoa, whoa. And I'm advocating that. Right, let's kind of head over to score predictions and how we think this game might play. I mean, I wanted to pull my chest out here. Me and you every year do this. For the last six years. I've said, this has to be the year. I'll be real, I said it in the intro. I'm going up there. I've just come from Fleetwood, 16 hours in a van with him. Nah, it was a joy to be with him. Nah, it was a joy. But with Lee judges as well. Nah, Lee, nah, Lee. Mobile, Jale. Oh, mate. Robbie, Joe. Yeah. And Graham and Jason, isn't it? It was a very... Big Jason's there as well. Nah, nah, nah. Different, different Jason. But it was a very nice journey up there on the way back. Very angry. Very, um... Yeah. Which rightly so. And you're getting in at 6am. Yeah, it's a long drive to Liverpool and it's your birthday so I understand you want to... So, so I... I know. Thank you for rounding it up. And I know this is probably the bit where you'll find a way to clip out if I get it wrong. 2-1 Liverpool. And I'm going 2-1 Arsenal. Okay. No worries whatsoever. You're saying 2-1. You're going to say you're going to win. That's what it is about. We are rivals, fans who respect each other. We can come on each other's channels and have a fun time. Yeah. I think my team are going to win. You think your team are going to win. Let's see what happens. I think a lot of Arsenal fans are going to need to draw though. Would you take a draw right now? No. We've got to be confident we're the champions. So we've got to be confident that we can win. No, I'm just, I'm thinking about it. Two right now. It's my birthday. If it wasn't my birthday, I'd take a drink right now. Brother, I want to have a good week. Listen, first November. Have a good weekend and then get to Sunday night and be let down. That's my actual birthday. And get to have a better weekend, hopefully. Exactly, hopefully. Right, gentlemen, can I get you to both shake hands? Yeah, of course. Good luck on Sunday. Always, brother. Good luck on Sunday. Oh, that's good of you. Yeah, of course it is. Good luck to Arsenal and good luck to all the boys. Thank you. Big thanks to AGT for joining us for this preview. Of course, check out his channel, KopTV. Doing good things. We're doing a video with these two right now. Yeah, there might be a different energy. Yeah, so make sure you go out and share it. Because I'm hosting right now and this guy... You've hosted me twice today, so it's my turn. And this guy, you know, he winds me up at times, but it's all love. And of course, big up to Ty as well. Big up Harrison Neal. And Fleetwood, get out of the league. Football scum club. Wrap it, wrap it, wrap it. Right, right, right. I'm not even in charge here, but wrap it. Thank you all for watching.
